Own a nice home with a large yard or a nice home with a small or no yard ?

I live in a metro area and it is so sad to see gorgeous property torn down and then have 1-2 mcmansions built on each acre. Don't people want a yard so their kids can play or they dogs can run? I get yard maintenance can be chore, but I love having almost 1.5 acres and distance between me and my neighbors.

REcently, I saw an ad for 200+ acres that includes a lake, stream and old mill (super cool stuff) and it was about an hour away from the metro area. The price is about $550,000. This is near a medium sized city so it isn't like civilization is far away. Then on the way home, I saw a pre-sale sign for townhomes starting at $400,000. I wouild never pay almost 1/2 million dollars for a town home when I could have a house and land.
